Finished projects from class

These are some of my projects that I made in the class with Steff Korsage! Steff came to my studio and taught a class for myself and 3 of my friends. I can't believe how much we learned in this class! If you ever get a chance to take a class with her be sure not to pass it up!

Here is a bracelet that I made...... We soldered and formed the bracelet, and then of course I couldn't just leave it as a bangle... so this is where I took it!

These are my little flower cups that I have attached to the bracelet...

And these are just some balls going through the bracelet...

This was another project in the class. How to etch copper and silver and make a box out of it.

Once the etchings are done we created a box out of them. Then we created the bail and soldered it on top of the box. By creating the box we learned so many techniques...... my head is swimming with ideas!

Today I am making another bracelet just to see how long it will take! So far I have soldered and hammered out the bracelet in under an hour! Not sure if that is just beginners luck though! I will attach the flower cups and silver balls tomorrow morning and see how long it takes! Will post a photo of it when I am done!
